Jessie Creek Winery Opens in Cape May Court House (NJ)

If you find yourself on the way to Cape May, a stop at Jessie Creek Winery is a must!

Jessie Creek Winery, 1 North Route 47 in Cape May Court House, is one of New Jersey’s newest wineries. Jessie Creek opened in April 2012, but the vineyard was established in 2002. Co-owners Bruce Morrison and Art Reale made their first vintage in 2010, but were caught up in the red tape of New Jersey’s Wine Shipping Bill which forced them to cellar their wines for nearly 15 months!
